Item 7.01                                           Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

As previously disclosed, on October 3, 2019, EP Energy Corporation (together with EP Energy LLC, the “Company”), and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code. The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption “In re: EP Energy Corporation, et al., Case No. 19-35654.”

 

On December 30, 2019, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court their monthly operating report for the month ending November 30, 2019 (the “Monthly Operating Report”). The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. This Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibit hereto) will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD. The Monthly Operating Report and other filings with the Bankruptcy Court related to the Chapter 11 Cases are available at the website administered by the claims agent, Prime Clerk, at https://cases.primeclerk.com/EPEnergy. Documents and other information available on such website are not part of this Current Report on Form 8-K and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information being furnished under this Item 7.01 pursuant to this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Monthly Operating Report

 

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws or rules, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations, including the following: risks and uncertainties relating to the Chapter 11 Cases, including but not limited to, the Company’s ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 Cases, the effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company and on the interests of various constituents, Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Cases and the outcome of the Chapter

 

2


 

11 Cases in general, the length of time the Company will operate under the Chapter 11 Cases, risks associated with third-party motions in the Chapter 11 Cases, the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company’s liquidity or results of operations; the ability of the Company to comply with the terms of that certain Plan Support Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2019 (as may be amended from time to time, the “PSA”), that certain Backstop Commitment Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2019 (as may be amended from time to time), and/or that certain Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, dated as of November 25, 2019 (as may be amended from time to time); the ability of the Company to obtain requisite support for the chapter 11 plan contemplated under the PSA (the “Plan”) from various stakeholders; the ability of the Company to confirm and consummate the Plan in accordance with the terms of the PSA; the uncertainty as to when or whether the effective date of the Plan will occur; the effects of disruption from the Chapter 11 Cases making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships, to retain key executives and to maintain various licenses and approvals necessary for the Company to conduct its business; the consequences of the acceleration of the Company’s debt obligations; risks related to the trading of the Company’s securities on the OTC Pink Market; as well as other risk factors set forth in the Company’s Disclosure Statement for Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of EP Energy Corporation and its Affiliated Debtors included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16, 2019, as may be amended from time to time; as well as the risk factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as updated in the Company’s subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. While the Company makes these statements in good faith, neither the Company nor its management can guarantee that anticipated future results will be achieved. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or any other forward-looking statements made by the Company, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.

MONTH: November 2019

 

 

MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT NOTES FOR NOVEMBER 2019

 

INTRODUCTION

 

This monthly operating report (“MOR”) is unaudited and does not purport to represent financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and it is not intended to fully reconcile to the consolidated financial statements prepared by the Debtors.  Information contained in this MOR has been derived from the Debtors’ books and records, but does not reflect in all circumstances presentation for GAAP or SEC reporting purposes.  Therefore, in order to comply with their obligations to provide MORs during these chapter 11 cases, the Debtors have prepared this MOR using the best information presently available to them, which has been collected, maintained, and prepared in accordance with their historical accounting practices.  Accordingly, this MOR is true and accurate to the best of the Debtors’ knowledge, information, and belief, based on currently-available data.  The results of operations and financial position contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any period other than full calendar month-ending November 30, 2019, or for the full year, and may not necessarily reflect the Debtors’ future consolidated results of operations and financial position.

 

RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

 

This MOR is limited in scope, covers a limited time period, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases.  The unaudited financial statements have been derived from the Debtors’ books and records.  The information presented herein has not been subject to all procedures that typically would be applied to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.  Upon the application of such procedures, the Debtors believe that the financial information could be subject to material change.  The information furnished in this MOR includes normal recurring adjustments, but does not include all of the adjustments that typically would be made for interim financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

GLOBAL NOTES

 

Given the complexity of the Debtors’ business, inadvertent errors or omissions may have occurred.  Accordingly, the Debtors hereby reserve all of their rights to dispute the validity, status, enforceability, or executory nature of any claim amount, agreement, representation, or other statement set forth in this MOR.  Further, the Debtors reserve the right to amend or supplement this MOR, if necessary, but shall be under no obligation to do so.

 

NOTES TO MOR 2 - 3

 

Liabilities Subject to Compromise (“LSTC”): LSTC represent the Debtors’ estimate of pre-petition claims to be resolved in connection with the chapter 11 cases. As a result of the chapter 11 filings, the payment of pre-petition liabilities are subject to compromise or other treatment under a plan of reorganization. The determination of how liabilities will ultimately be settled or treated cannot be made until the Bankruptcy Court approves a chapter 11 plan or reorganization. Accordingly, the ultimate amount of such liabilities is not determinable at this time. Prepetition liabilities that are subject to compromise under ASC 852 are preliminary and may be subject to, among other things, future adjustments depending on Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain claims, the values of any collateral securing such claims, rejection of executory contracts, continued reconciliation or other events.

 

NOTES TO MOR-5

 

The accounts payable and accounts receivable agings are presented on a consolidated basis for the Debtors, and does not include intercompany activity.

 

Notes to MOR

 


 

NOTES TO MOR-6

 

The income statement is presented on a consolidated basis for the Debtors.  The information provided in the income statements reflect activity for the full calendar month-ending November 30, 2019.

 

Other revenues include both realized and unrealized gain and/or loss on derivatives recorded for the full calendar month-ending November 30, 2019.

 

NOTES TO MOR-8

 

Although payment of prepetition claims is generally not permitted, the Bankruptcy Court has authorized the Debtors to pay certain prepetition claims in designated categories.  This relief generally was designed to preserve the value of the Debtors’ business and assets.  The Debtors have paid and continue to pay undisputed postpetition obligations in the ordinary course of business.

 

Intercompany receipts and disbursements between Debtors that are cleared by netting are not included in this MOR.  Based on centralized cash management practices, all disbursements are made by the following Debtors:  (i) EP Energy Corporation; (ii) EP Energy LLC; (iii) EP Energy E&P Company, LP; and (iv) EP Energy Management, LLC.

 

NOTES TO MOR-9

 

The list of insiders is consistent with public disclosures and other filings associated with the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases. The listing of any party as an “insider” is neither intended to be nor should be construed as a legal characterization of such party as an “insider,” as such term is defined in section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, and it does not act as an admission or waiver of any fact, right, claim, or defense, and all such rights, claims, and defenses are hereby expressly reserved.

 


(1)  The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases, along with the last four digits of each Debtor’s federal tax identification number, as applicable, are:  EP Energy Corporation (2728), EPE Acquisition, LLC (5855), EP Energy LLC (1021), Everest Acquisition Finance Inc. (0996), EP Energy Global LLC (7534), EP Energy Management, L.L.C. (5013), EP Energy Resale Company, L.L.C. (9561), and EP Energy E&P Company, L.P. (7092).  The Debtors’ primary mailing address is 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77002.
